LITTLE ROCK, AR - The campaign of Second District Congressional candidate French Hill got a boost from a high profile Republican on Wednesday.

New House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy joined Hill at Welspun Tubular Pipes in Little Rock.

Hill said for the last several months across the state, he has heard one consistent thing, Arkansans want jobs.

"I believe sincerely that careers, opportunities is what people want. They want that for their families and we've got to be focused on that. And the way we do that is through economic growth and this is a great example of it today," said Hill.

Hill criticized President Obama for his opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, saying it would create thousands of jobs in Arkansas and surrounding states.
